Re: 1973 Cheyenne Super 10
Awesome job, Hoser! Been wondering how you were doing!
The green on white really "pops" and looks fantastic!

Re: 1973 Cheyenne Super 10
Are you putting the cab trim below the rear window to seperate the two colors?
Truck looks nice, like to pinstriping too. I will be doing the same to my 77 at some point in time.

I have the cab trim pieces. I plan on putting them on soon. I need the clips. I was also thinking of just using some double-sided trim tape. Anyone ever tried that?

Re: 1973 Cheyenne Super 10
The truck is coming along great man! The paint looks good, but will look like it "fits" better when you get the trim on. I thought about some good ol' 3M double sided tape for mine too. It works well to hold things on to almost every newer car on the road. So, I don't see why it would not work in this application.

Re: 1973 Cheyenne Super 10
I've done a couple of things to the truck to get it ready for the colder months. I scored a wiper motor on here from member "whiskeydented". Mine was out so I posted a WTB ad and he came through. Gave me a great deal and it works great. As for the wiper blade assemblies, I scored a set at a local swap meet for like $3...I didn't even put new "refills".. the blades are cherry. They've also been tested. We've had some wet weather here lately. I also got my heater/defrosters working. Keeps the cab nice and warm.
Other than that, I've been taking the truck out of town more often within a 60 mile radius...Moriarty, Pecos, Espanola, Albuquerque/Rio Rancho. She does great on the highway. Those 3.42's are great! Overdrive would be nice, be that's a 'whole nother' chapter. Later...JC ![]()

Re: 1973 Cheyenne Super 10
I'm going to try the Duplicolor stuff I used for the dash and door panels. That stuff seems to be holding up well. I'm not sure how it will act with seatbelts, but we'll soon find out....
